I have run into a project that requires attaching some addition “Advanced” attributes to Joomla articles.

I have extended the “blog category” menu type to incorporate jQuery to display the blog category with the titles as vertical tabs, and the introtext displayed in a content div when each tab is clicked.

Articles selected for this vertical tabbed menu will also have an associated “menu image” and a “video file”. The menu image will be a thumbnail that gets displayed in the tab, and the video file will be a flv video that is used to populate (using javascript) a fixed video player that will appear in another module position on the website.
